Chronicles of narnia white witch actress

After seeing trailer of The Chronicles of Narnia many times, I have one
question. Has the actress playing White Witch ever played one of the Borg
Queens? Besides the White Witch has hair, I am almost certain Borg Queen is
the White Witch. Maybe Borg Empire originates from the realm of Narnia.

No. This is Cate Blanchett. Great actress. Never seen her on Star Trek.

Lava

It is not Cate Blanchett. The actress is Tilda Swinton.
The Borg Queen in Star Trek was Alice Kirge.

They could all three pass as sisters, if not identical triplets. Same
gene pool.

In the time it took you to post that question, you could've looked
up the film at the IMDb, clicked on the name of the actress
playing the White Witch, and checked to see if she had any
Star Trek credits.

I did search IMBb and found no reference. But it could be that the actress
feels shameful of playing Borg queen in her early career. Also, I was told
that there are many actresses playing Borg queen, but I can never see the
difference. They all look the same to me.

The Borg Queen was played by Alice Kriga in the "First Contact" movie
and the Voyager finale, and by Susannah Thompson in several Voyager
episodes in between.

Neither has anything to be ashamed of.

Flashback: Nicole Kidman Was Rumored to Be Playing the White Witch in 2004

In early 2004, as fans eagerly awaited details about the upcoming movie adaptation of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, a bombshell story landed. It claimed Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge!, The Hours) had been cast as The White Witch. The Oscar-winner had reportedly been seen in New Zealand, where filming would take place.

The false report is now believed to be the result of a comical misunderstanding. Watch this video for more details:

Two months later, it was finally announced that Tilda Swinton had been cast in the role. Meanwhile, Kidman would go to play an antagonist in The Golden Compass (2007).

The Archives of Old NarniaWeb
2020 will mark 15 years since the release of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Each month, NarniaWeb will look back at notable news and rumors that sent fans reeling as they anticipated Narnia’s big screen debut. This first episode is available for all, but the rest of the series will be an exclusive for Friends and Knights of NarniaWeb.

When I heard how the rumor started….Andrew Adamson location scouting in NZ and someone spotted him and thought he was Nicole Kidman….I almost spit coffee everywhere.
That is just hilarious.
Historically, I have preferred relatively unknown actors for roles like this, but sometimes a big name can truly knock a performance out of the park in an unexpected way (Heath Ledger as the Joker comes to mind here). It’s definitely a double edged sword, but I think it depends on the role.

JFG II says:

I hope whomever is cast in the new Narnia adaptations are good actors, regardless of their notoriety. Or love from fans.
I’d be interested if the lead kid from ‘jojo rabbit’ was cast as 12-year-old Digory Kirk, even though the actor is gaining fame monthly – and really, NO kid could play him perfectly, and the kid actors from ‘jojo rabbit’ were phenomenal.
But I would love the actress cast as The Witch to knock our socks off, someone we fans would not pick but is scarily perfect for Jadis.

Cleander says:

Wait, that’s seriously how it got started? That’s hilarious!! XDXD
I’d heard about stories about this rumor when I first joined Narniaweb.

Skilletdude says:

Nicole Kidman probably would have been adequate in the role. I think at the time, though, most of the fans wanted an actress who wasn’t as recognizable, and that’s what we ultimately got with Tilda Swinton. Yes, Barbara Kellerman was too loud, and I think Swinton was too timid. What approach would Kidman have taken had the rumor been true? Interesting to think about.

Keeper of Lantern Waste says:

I’d like Cate Blanchette as Jadis. Probably too expensive but dang I think she’d be awesome! Incidentally, did you enjoy Jojo Rabbit? I wanted to see it but was too busy

JFG II says:

a. It would be awsome if she played Jadis, since she’s already played a [good] witch and an [evil] emperess before, both to glorious effect. b. 7.5/10 I was both very entertained and very moved by it, but the tone was all over the place: Sometimes it’s hilarious, sometimes it’s deadly serious. Sometimes it’s muddled and murky in intent. (I’m not related to anybody or anything involved in WWII Europe, so it’s not to personal to me. ) Not everyone will like it. Some people will hate / dismiss it as being too nice towards nazis, even though the movie exists to be a smack-down of nazi-ideology. It’s good. Maybe even great.

Tumnus says:

I agree, in 2005 I knew very little about Tilda Swinton while I’ve seen Nicole Kidman in films since the 80’s. She certainly could have pulled off the role, but for a Narnia film I want to be absorbed in the story to the greatest extent possible and a star would distract from that some.

Swinton puts on white hat for ‘Narnia’

“Narnia” director Andrew Adamson — due in Cannes in a few days for the Competition showing of DreamWorks’ “Shrek 2,” which he co-directed — confirmed that Swinton has boarded the project as the evil White Witch. Fellow redhead Nicole Kidman was rumored to be in discussions for the role as recently as last month, but those reports turned out to be false.

Budgeted at more than $100 million, according to sources, the Walden Media/Walt Disney Co. co-production is scheduled to begin shooting in the summer in Adamson’s native New Zealand. “The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” is the first installment of Walden’s planned “Chronicles of Narnia” franchise, based on the series of classic children’s fantasy books by C.S. Lewis.

Adamson is making his live-action debut on the project, with a Christmas 2005 release already slated via Walt Disney Pictures, which also is distributing Walden’s “Around the World in 80 Days” in the summer.

The story of Narnia revolves around the Pevensie siblings — Lucy, Susan, Edmund and Peter — who go through a magic wardrobe and enter the world of Narnia, a once peaceful land of talking beasts, dwarfs and giants that has since become frozen by the evil White Witch (Swinton). The four children then help the lion Aslan break the witch’s spell.

The role marks a departure from Swinton’s more recent art house work. The actress is known for her wide-ranging credits from the quirky “Adaptation” and the sexually charged “Young Adam” to the mind-bending “Teknolust.” She next appears in the indie ensemble “Thumbsucker,” followed by Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Constantine” opposite Keanu Reeves.

Separately, Disney said it would release a “Narnia” video in time for the 2005 holiday season. Adamson will be involved with the video game production team during the simultaneous development of the game and the movie.

“We’re very early, so we’re not announcing the developer choice yet,” said Graham Hopper, senior vice president and general manager of Disney’s Buena Vista Games unit.

Reviews for "Discovering the Fascinating Secrets of Poland's Witch House Interiors"

1. Sarah - 1 star - The Witch House Poland Interior was an absolute disappointment. The description made it sound like a thrilling and scary experience, but it was far from it. The house was poorly decorated and lacked any sort of atmosphere. The actors were not convincing at all and the jump scares were predictable and not scary at all. I definitely do not recommend this experience to anyone looking for a true haunted house experience.
2. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Witch House Poland Interior, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The production value was quite low, with cheap props and boring set designs. The storyline was confusing and lacked any real scares. Overall, it just felt like a poorly executed haunted house experience. I was disappointed with my visit and wouldn't recommend it to others.
3. Emily - 2.5 stars - While the Witch House Poland Interior had some potential, it ultimately failed to deliver a truly immersive and scary experience. The set designs were decent, but the actors seemed disinterested and their performances were lackluster. The scares felt forced and lacked any real intensity. It was a mediocre haunted house experience at best. I wouldn't say it was terrible, but there are definitely better options out there.
